The cybernetics core provides upgrades for protoss aircraft and dragoons. It also allows access to the advanced tech tree.

Within the cybernetics core are the necessary construction materials, automated factories and the mysterious essence translators that bond the spirits of fallen protoss to the cold metal exoskeletons of the dragoons. Eventually, by focusing through the Khala, the fallen warriors can control the movements of the quadrupedal dragoon as naturally as if they were within their former bodies.[1]

Notes

Disruptors[15] can produce false copies of units to distract their opponents.[16] Duplicates have the same number of hit points as the original but take double the damage.[17] The number of hallucinations created depends on the actual cost of the unit.[18] It can spawn 2 zealots, 2 stalkers, 1 immortal, 2 high templar, 1 archon, 1 void ray, 1 phoenix, 1 warp prism, or 1 colossus.[19] Hallucinations cannot be created for dark templar, carriers or observers.[18] It also has no effect on motherships.[20]

Hallucinations are instantly destroyed by psionic storm.[21]

The disruptor can create duplicates of units that the player doesn't meet the tech requirements for.[18]

    Hallucination still does not work on Carriers, Motherships, Dark Templars, an Observers. I'll have to get back to ya on the lore side :) maybe get them to post up a website update on that.
